วีดีโอ

I am also building the Arizona, the same Revell kit I believe you're building. I enjoyed your approach of finding the paint on the guns as the most accurate way to access the color at Pearl Harbor. Thanks for sharing your research and for making it clear this is a hobby an each guy/gal can pursue it as they see fit!

Greetings Christopher, you do great work - thank you. I have a somewhat related question that I am really in need of help. After I create an image plane by using "Import Images as Planes" and size it at 96" wide x 48" high, I would then like to modify the plane so that it is 4" thick (Z axis) - I am building a sign but not on a simple plane. I am having trouble doing this, I added a Solidify Modifier but the now 4" thick plane looks hollow between the front and back surfaces - How to I make it solid? Can you point me to a video that could be of help?

Glad to see your doing well, good luck with everything and thanks for all the help with the SDK

Welcome back. I'm so glad I kept those notifications on. I somehow corrupted my scenery folder, but I still have the XML. A tutorial that recreates the files from the XML would be great.

Glad to see you're still around and doing well with your art. Looking forward to more great MSFS tutorials and maybe some GA paintings.

Great video, congratulations, but I need some help. I need to do this in water, with the texture underneath and the water on top, how is this possible?

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

👍

Awesome! Thank you!

Just a Question when using LODS. I have never used the old "Toolkit" I am rather new and have some questions. Question 1: In the example you show You have more than one project in the same blenderfile - but under different collection - For example. MainTerminal Terminal2 Terminal3. When you later (and I am sure that you must) make LODs of these. Are you then splitting them up on different blendfiles? As I can imagine - you must do so. Question 2: I love structure and it can ofc be handled i different ways. One way I love is to use Collections. As I can see - when you have a maincollection. And build that collection all sub-collections is also included in the model. I have not still tested to load it in MSFS but when I test the final gItf file in 3D viewer all parts from all collections are there. The problem (if it is a problem ) is that I have no idea to get rid of the sub-collections in the exporters objects tab. But you do not need to select them. Just select the main item. Question 3: In the Timken project I have built together with you - You always copied your texturefiles in the ../texture/ in the project. But as I can see - the asobo exporter automatically copies the texture files to the ../texture/. Maybe it was not so with the toolkit?. Is there any reason today to copy these files? I cannot see that. To be honest - I sometimes deletes all textures on ../texture/ to check that the copy works. I am not sure - but I also have a thought that the exporter converts ev jpeg to png automatically? Have a nice day Christopher and continue the good work you are doing and share with us. // Erland

Will this be an addon for Purchase?

thank you now I can build a stadium for a project

Thanks for your great videos !

Great video...thanks! Any chance of a tutorial for texturing in MSFS 2020? I can only hope!

Thanks man! This video was really helpful. 🙂

Thanks once again for this nice tutorial. Thanks to you, I was able to make a custom sign tonite. I just have on question, though... After importing the image I created at Kria, it didn't look as bright as yours and have a pale shade to it. Any ideas about the cause of that? Thank you very much for your precious work and helpings. Cheers!

Thank you very much for your tutorials that I benefit a lot from. Is there a part two? I need to create a couple of custom signs in Blender and totally in dark at the moment. Edit: I've found it! Thank you.

this helped so much thank u man

Thank you for posting this. I just downloaded the IdeaMatters Color Mixer and was having trouble figuring it out. You did a great job of explaining the app, so I liked and subscribed.

Hi Christopher Have paint now as a texture in texture file. I have problem. Have followed the blender file export to the letter. I am not getting the 3 extra files only the export XML. With guid No .bin or gltf file. Please can you advise.

Hi. Thank you for your tutorial series your measured and honest delivery of what we need to do is just right for me. I am used to using directories/folders etc to run things but haven’t done that for about 20 years. Well done I have a question I have imported an auto and model into blender( .stl file. ) Just to paint. It. I have unwrapped the painted model. There are a lot of faces in the unwrap area painted. Are these paint /textures to be put in the project textures folder ( tut1-materials) in your tutorials. Would I need to add roughness to them to give them a texture. Many thanks. Geoff Elks😊

Watching your series. I am a former Software Engineer so the SDK is much easier for me, but I lack in modeling skills. So is Blender used more often than Krita. Also what series of your videos would be best to watch for Blender skills. Thanks

You need to be complemented in contributing so much to the Community. Lately discovered your channel and once again Thanks

Found your channel , and appreciate your presentation style and quality of SDK content. Thanks so much for sharing and hope to learn some new skills

Naval procurement records of paint should provide the color numbers.

It would be great to follow along except in Blender, out-of-the-box, does not have a single vertex option. You have to first load the “extra objects” add-on in preferences. You did something similar to this in another video without prefacing that the feature needs to be turned on first, FYI.

Curious, when you put in your "Normal" and "Roughness" textures (for the corrugated roof), they were not rotated 90-degrees and scaled down (like the first texture), would that not make a difference in appearance?

Thank you very much for contributing so much of your time and energy into making these videos. Reading the SDK documentation is a great foundation (I only wish people emphasized that more), but your videos are really the icing on the cake, in terms of getting jump started into FS development. In particular, I greatly appreciate your guidance with Blender.

Hey! I had a question about Toledo airport mod, do you have a ETA on when you will add the ANG ramp?

very interesting Thank you

Thank you. This was very helpful and clear.

Absolute magic, tysm.

I’m currently working on the Arizona from early 1941 that’s in gray #5 which is a lighter gray.

At the time of the attack the Arizona was possibly in the middle of a new paint scheme using 5S (sea blue) a dark blue gray.

Hi, glad to hear you are the Arizona! Wanted to let you know the Arizona was painted in measure 1 in mid 1941. All vertical surfaces from the waterline to the top of the smokestack were painted in a very dark gray called 5D.

Personally want to thank you for this! It was very helpful for my planning and streetscape project in Baltimore!

Thank you Sir. Looks very interesting to overfly at low speed. Will test it out for shure. Greetings.

Hello, you made some great tutorials- thank you! Could you help me, creating a small, simple building (I used to work in that building in th 90s. It is actually quite simple. I can use the SDK to some extend, but I can not use blender yet. Thanks!

👋👋👋 Finally found a tutorial which I could follow and succeed to see in MSFS. Thank you ! Currently finished part 2 and will follow up for next parts

Great job! You're my Krita guru! At 2:30, I cracked up when you revealed the naked truth about statistics. It took me back to my statistics instructor in the '60s, a guy named Tom Lehrer: In the first class he wanted us to be sure to appreciate the realities of statistics. He told us that statistics is often an application of the "Reverse Einstein Effect" - namely: "Creating Matter out of Sheer Energy". You can imagine what the rest of the course was like ...

Forgot to mention my particular interest in exporting models of animated characters/objects..... complex ones. Thank you

Nothing wrong with your style Sir. To the contrary, everything you present comes along as friendly, easy and enjoyable. Thank you for that. I f I can suggested, it would be very interesting to do a dive into last 1.3.3 MSFS Blender exporter using blender 3.6x LTS. It has many new options in settings section , not always easy to undrestand. Greetings

What about migrating armatures? and any keyframe animation?

Very useful video! thank you and greetings from Medellin, Colombia.

Thank you very much for this , as always with you , gret explanation. Been days clicking away to make this work. To no avail. I know that now it will work , Greetings after long time no visit to your channel.

this is way better than installing pluggins for outdated blender versions, thank you sir

Good stuff! You demonstrate the basic terraforming tools with a few good “workarounds” using both the polygons and rectangles.

When I’m trying to import the planes, only the export tool appears and not the import. Is there a fix or a new tutorial i could use? Thanks!

Great video! Are you on Steve's discord? I run it. What's your name on there if you are on there?
